A memorial to his wife. The first part consists of her poems and an account of her war career as a WRNS despatch rider. The larger part recalls his war service and is cast in the form of pseudonymous letters to a sister. He volunteered from Cambridge then, after training, joined Pelican in 1940. In 1941 he was commissioned and joined Vivacious, which took part in the abortive attempt to stop the Channel Dash. In late 1942 he joined the new Haydon, but in mid-1943 volunteered for submarines. In spring 1944 he joined Tantivy at Colombo although she later worked out of Fremantle.In April 1945 she returned to the UK. A rather saccharine account. |
